r/KnitRequest • u/m0th_s0up • 5d ago

dot/top inquiry!

Location: Central Texas, USA
Budget: $300+ for labor + $150 material cost (maybe?? math is hard and i’m bad at it. willing to discuss/negotiate whatever works best for the piece)
Timeline: if i can find someone in the next month, preferably before November, but i’m pretty lax on that tbh.
Size: adult women’s large-ish? kinda halfway between large and medium, depending on brand
Material: natural + machine washable! (idk if that’s possible tho)

anyways, y’all know the one. the one with the illusion dots where u gotta see it from the side? Link:

it’s rad asf. I was thinking a Chartreuse/Plum (with standard dots) or Royal Blue/True Yellow (with stars instead!) as the color combo, and some darts cuz i got a pretty large chest. preferably a slightly lower neckline! anyways, i just love the witchery going on, and love a good sweater vest, but i crochet! if i tried to knit, i probably wouldn’t be able to get the tension correct, anyways.

any and all help somehow getting this wondrous thing in my wardrobe would be appreciated!

I suspect that darts would ruin the illusion effect here. If you're open to shipping from Canada, message me. I've done several wearable commissions in the past.

I saw that you've messaged me, but now Reddit isn't showing me your chat request any more. Would you mind messaging me again? Much obliged.

Please add a comment with the following information if it is missing from your post:

  1. Size; is this for an adult or child?

  2. Timeline; will this be a holiday gift or other fixed deadline?

  3. Budget; consider this is a one-of-a-kind hand knit garment that will likely cost over $100 not something off the rack at your local department store and please let us know your max price?

  4. Yarn Preference; natural or synthetic / machine or hand wash?
